Nice work Tim. I may call on you later to "borrow" some of those for the main site...

Spotted one of the citaro’s heading into Pershore at about 5pm (Probably to work the College S51) It’s a shame I don’t catch the bus to/from college anymore! Looks like I missed out on something good! :( :lol:

I saw one in service for the first time, today, and was surprised to see the rear route No. is amber / yellow on black, on 64012 at least, whereas the front display is white on black.

How Odd! I wonder if that is deliberate or a mistake made by Thorntons... :?

Have any more citaro’s entered service? Or are 64012, 64016 & 64018 still the only ones?

And have any of the Solos/Darts/E300’s been withdrawn/transferred to potteries yet?

According to Adam's report of our MD's email, ALL of our E300s are going there.

As above, to the best of my knowledge it’s going. Hasn’t gone yet because I’m sat in it waiting to run the 16:25 Service 363 from the Sixth Form College!

That’s a shame as I liked that example. I saw her earlier running the 30
